Scammers skirt spam shields with help from Adobe Flash
   


Online scammers have found a new way to skirt anti-spam filters, this time by making use of Adobe Flash files hosted on free websites. Spam messages with innocuous-looking content contain links to Flash-based files on ImageShack.com and elsewhere. Commands embedded in the files redirect the recipient to sites that punt Viagra, work-at-home offers and free software updates.
